My Measurement: The Villain Desires a Satisfying Payback

Chapter 142 - 142: 136: A Strange Bond

A few days passed with nothing of much notice occurring.

My questioning and discussion with Yuu Shimura has paused for the most part, as there wasn't a whole lot of information left for me to gather regarding the details of his Measurement evolution.

I went back and re-read through the documents and records written by the original metrisology re

Even if it resulted in me venturing to destroy the world and everything within it.

"I'm going to uncover the secrets of the world, the secrets behind Kiryuuin and Araceli's existences, and I'm going to relish in the fact I know that truth, for once and for all."

Finally, I divulged what my plans for the future were, albeit vague.

"They claimed that doing so would result in me wanting to destroy the world."

""...""

"I don't know if it's true or not, but I don't care anymore."

""...""

"If it results in me dying, it doesn't matter."

""...""

"So long as I can tear that veil off this disgusting world's deepest secrets and expose them bare, I couldn't care less if I die."

""...""

"If it means my curiosity is ultimately sated, I'm fine with death."

""...""

"Because then, at least I won't have to live whilst slowly going insane due to ignorance."

The twins stared at me with unchanging faces as I talked, briefly glancing at each other quietly throughout.

Eventually, when I had finished saying everything I had wanted to, they looked one another in the eyes deeply for a few moments.

I didn't read their thoughts.

I didn't want to know what they were thinking at this moment.

What I had told them wasn't a great deal, to be honest; it's not like I had revealed some massive secrets or anything like that.

I only talked a little bit about my past and about what I wanted to do from here on.

But, for whatever reason, it felt like a strangely big deal, even though it shouldn't be.

So, I didn't want to read their thoughts.

Instead, I closed my eyes and waited.

Pat.

Suddenly, I felt something soft touch my cheek.

Opening my eyes, I saw it.

"..."

Sana and Sona each had one hand on the sides of my face.

"Ciphy, don't worry."

"We'll protect you."

It was short, but they spoke.

"..."

I couldn't find the words to say, if there even were any fit for this situation.

Just earlier, I had considered that maybe, just as the twins needed me, I also needed the twins.

Whatever the case, undoubtedly, we had a strange bond.

"...You'll protect me, huh?"

If that was really the case, then perhaps it was fine to take advantage of their kindness.

"Then, do your best, girls."

Because I really might need it.
